599, mountain rain and dark clouds rest for a while (3)
Chongzhen didn't expect that Li Zicheng, who rose so quickly and drove him out of the capital in just a few years, would be defeated so quickly.
Leaving the shore and returning, brought him such good news?
"Has Mr. Shen ever heard the news?"
"When the minister came from Qingdaokou, he only heard that Nanhaibo defeated Zu Kuan and Gao Jie, but he didn't think about it...... I never thought that Li Zicheng would also be defeated by a blow! Shen Youlong muttered to Chongzhen.
At this time, Jiang'an handed over the box, Chongzhen didn't wait for Wang Chengen to pick it up, and took the initiative to take the box himself.
In the box, Li Zicheng's first achievement was not placed as he imagined, but a group of scattered objects, including gold seals, military talismans and other items, and the gold seal was engraved with the "Imperial Treasure of the Son of Dashun".
Even this thing fell into the hands of Yu Guozhen, so the news of Li Zicheng's death is very good!
"The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!"
Chongzhen's hands trembled with excitement, and the feeling of ecstasy after the revenge made his blood rush to his brain, and he didn't even care about his current situation, and danced with his hands: "Come on, come on, give me paper, Nanhai Bo defeated Li Thief, I want to make him a duke, and he will be a duke of Yueguo......"
In the next room, I heard Chongzhen mention "Yue Guogong" again, Queen Zhou sighed softly, Princess Kunxing raised her face and glanced at her: "Isn't Niang Niang happy, that wicked man is dead!" ”
"Rejoice, rejoice......" Empress Zhou said in a low voice.
In fact, after arriving on Tamna Island. After the initial fears, Queen Zhou has been very happy in the past few months, and these days are even better than when she was in the capital. In her feelings, she seemed to have returned to her youth, when Chongzhen was still only a king, not the Son of Heaven, and the two were in love with each other, and there were not so many political and military affairs to worry about. Although he was worried about Wei Zhongxian's persecution, he was generally happy and happy.
The family was with He Meimei, watching the children become more and more lively, and her husband's thin cheeks gradually plumped, for Queen Zhou, this is happiness.
But now, Chongzhen's words. reminded her that Chongzhen couldn't completely let go after all.
Really. Wang Chengen was embarrassed. This kind of thing is not something that a eunuch can do, but a scholar should be summoned, and who can draw up a decree here?
Chongzhen also came back to his senses at this time, and said with a wry smile: "That's it, that's it, Yu Guozhen doesn't care about my reward." I don't have anything to give him but a false name...... Will the Governor. You ask Nanhai Bo for me, does he want to be crowned a prince or a king. ”
Jiang An said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the officials of my family don't want to be crowned a prince or a king." ”
"Yes...... He didn't want to be canonized. At the beginning, it was this Nanhai Bo, or I forcibly gave it away, at that time, he thought that there would be today......" Chongzhen was silent for a while, and then laughed and said: "No matter what, this is always a happy event, and Shen Qing and Cao Daban are here again, this is the three joys...... I am now making my own money, and I still have some manuscript fees, I heard that the Laurel Garden Restaurant in Yicheng is a branch from Xinxiang, and there are countless delicacies...... Well, ten tables of banquets, I want to get drunk before resting! ”
Jiang An said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I have some shares in Laurel Garden, and I also hold a VIP card, which can be discounted, if Your Majesty really wants to, I will invite a few chefs here, just here, so as not to send them cold." ”
"It's so good, but it's a pity, Nanhai...... Yu Guozhen is not here, otherwise, I would have to invite him for a drink! Chongzhen thought that Yu Guozhen personally led the troops to defeat Li Zicheng, forcing Li Zicheng to be cornered and killed by a few farmers, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
It's just that why did Yu Guozhen send Li Zicheng's golden seal and others, but not Li Zicheng's first achievement?
When he was thinking about Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen gasped and stood on top of Mount Tai.
At this time, the rain and clouds are harvested, it is the picturesque time on Mount Tai, when Confucius climbed Mount Tai and the world is small, although Yu Guozhen knows that Mount Tai is the shortest one in the altitude of the five mountains, but when he arrives here, he still resonates with Confucius.
The mighty mountains rushed in front of his eyes, the rivers in the distance meandered like lines, and the sky was wide, making people swing their chests and clouds. He took a deep breath at the mountains, and then let out a long roar, like thunder, rolling through the mountains.
"This is Bixia Temple, sir, please see, this tablet was written by Jing Shi, the late Duke of Wensu."
Yu Guozhen walked to the stele pointed out by the Taoist official, this is the "Dongyue Bixia Palace Stele", the Taoist official said that the Wenli prince Jingshi is the important minister of the Wanli Dynasty, Wang Xijue. When Emperor Wanli liquidated Zhang Juzheng, he was the only one who ignored the previous contradictions with Zhang Juzheng, and wrote "Jiangling is also considerable, and it is advisable to protect the country with less protection". When the crowd was fighting for the country's foundation, he was the only one who was trying to reconcile internal and external contradictions, trying to barely maintain the balance between the monarch's power and the minister's power. When he was in Xinxiang, Yu Guozhen asked Fang Kongzhi and others for advice, and listened to their comments on the ministers in modern times.
Yu Guozhen noticed that there were many embroidered shoes in front of the statue, so he smiled and asked the official: "What's going on with these shoes?" ”
"It is a tribute after the ladies go up the mountain to worship."
Yu Guozhen smiled: "That's the case...... It's just that why is Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang wrapped her little feet? ”
As soon as he saw the ancestral hall, he saw the little feet of this god, and he was very displeased, so after asking, without waiting for the Taoist official to answer, he turned back and said: "Allocate 100 gold yuan to Bixia Temple, reshape the golden body of the mother, and do not leave small feet for the mother." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall and walked away, leaving only the Taoist official and his retinue staring wide-eyed, not understanding what he meant.
Yu Guozhen himself understood the original intention in his heart.
Things like small feet are freaks born in traditional Chinese culture, and only by removing these freaks can we get rid of turbidity.
The 4,000-year-old Taoist system is the high-spirited part of the ancestors of the Chinese dynasties, not the dregs that occasionally arise.
Now the political situation of the Ming Dynasty has gradually become clear. Yu Guozhen should consider the next specific measures.
"Official, do you really want to reshape that lady's golden body?"
"Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang is a Taoist deity, reshape its golden body, I think the two of you who came to Kwai Quanzi to steal Quanzi will be happy, this is the first time I have reshaped the golden body of a god." Yu Guozhen said with a smile.
Tian Boguang saw Yu Guozhen's smile and knew that there must be no good intentions in this, he scratched his head: "Why do I think that the official is preparing to sell the two Taoist masters." Are they still happy to count the money for the officials? ”
I really want to sell them once, but I want to sell them abroad.
"I am ready to allocate a sum of money to come out and cultivate Taoist temples on the islands of the South China Sea, of course, if the eminent monks are willing to go to Nanyang to spread my Chinese Buddhism, I am also willing to support it." Yu Guozhen said: "In addition to these, the Confucian Temple should also be repaired...... In a word. Wherever I am under the rule of China, we should allow all religions to be eclectic. ”
"And what about that god from Europe?" Tian Boguang's face was full of disbelief: "Official, you don't like it the most." What a cousin who said it and it. It's a cult! ”
"As long as they admit that their god is not the only god in this world, but only a low-end god in the West, this world was created by Pangu and created by Nuwa Niangniang, and their gods only later transgressed to take credit, then they can also get my support." Yu Guozhen smiled deeply.
"That's impossible. How would they agree to this! ”
"Then there is no way, Li Zicheng also disagreed with my suggestion at the beginning. What now? Yu Guozhen laughed, and then walked down the mountain: "Steal half a day." Finally walked around Mount Tai, and then, I have to be busy again! ”
"The officials are just busy, but over there in Jinling, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm going to die, right?"
"I'm concerned about the Jianyu in the north now, and I'm actually building ships...... Don't they know that the sea is our territory? I don't know if Dolgon received the letter sent by the North Koreans, but Dolgon is a smart man and should know what to do. ”
As for the Jinling small court in the south, Yu Guozhen really didn't take their reaction to heart, he could imagine what the situation would be in the Jinling small court after learning that the three towns in Jiangbei had all been defeated, and how much the Jinling small court would be shocked after learning that Li Zicheng was killed.
As Yu Guozhen expected, although the small court of Jinling was slow to respond to everything due to the containment of many parties, the battle situation of the three towns in Jiangbei jointly attacking the east of the mountain still reached it in the shortest possible time.
In the imperial palace of Jinling, Zhu Yousong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, blinked his eyes and looked at the dead ministers below with an idiot on his face.
Every day, when I went to the court, it was more noisy than the market, but after receiving the news of the defeat of the three towns in Jiangbei just now, it was a dead silence when I went to the court for seven days.
is the eunuch's shout of "there is nothing to do", and they have become weak.
"Zhuqing is really okay?" Zhu Yousong looked at Ma Shiying, who was standing nearby: "Old Ma Ge, you have nothing to say?" ”
Ma Shiying suddenly felt that something was wrong, he glanced at Zhu Yousong, but found that a sharp gaze flashed in the eyes of the emperor who had always been absurd.
During the period when Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he did not lose a good reputation, especially the sharp-tongued Donglin Party, and said that he sent eunuchs to catch toads around during the Dragon Boat Festival and dispense obscene drugs. In fact, Ma Shiying understands that in Jiangsu, there was originally a custom of catching toads during the Dragon Boat Festival. This is what the people do, or Donglin does, the Son of Heaven can't do it.
It seems that this majesty is not as stupid as his reputation, he has been letting himself go before, nothing more than that he can help him deal with those Donglin Qingliu who don't want him to come to power, and now the four towns of Jiangbei that he relies on as his heart have broken three towns, and his strength has been greatly reduced, and all kinds of forces are ready to move again......
Luckily, I still have a card in my hand.
Thinking of this, Ma Shiying glanced at Ruan Dacheng, Ruan Dacheng understood, and nodded.
"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Wu Changshi, Zhou Zhong, Wei Xuelian and others in Beijing to rebel, and on the order of Li Chuang, they went south to separate His Majesty and Nanhai Bo, and instigated the three towns of Jiangbei to attack Nanhai Bo in the name of the Northern Expedition." Ma Shiying immediately went out to play: "The generations of Donglin Restoration Society talk about loyalty and righteousness, but in fact, they are not the ......same."
A series of attacks came out of the mouths of Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others, and Zhu Yousong's attention immediately turned to this matter, he has always been dissatisfied with the Donglin Restoration Society, because these people were bent on supporting King Lu, and even wanted to support King Gui, but they were unwilling to support him.
It seems that the time has come to settle accounts with them. (To be continued)
